16 oz can into my Brooklyn Brewery saison glass - pours a slightly hazy golden with a zealous white head. Peppery aroma hits as pouring with a hoppy bite. Initial taste is that bite of hops followed with black peppercorns and a dry citrus flavour - quite astringent. Smooths out as warms with less hop and a bit more of the peppercorn with a floral tone. Started not sure on this beer but as I came to the end I really loved it. Note this version was 6.0% ABV not 6.3%.

16oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Apparently this was made for an industrial design show of the same name in Edmonton, and this place snagged a keg (ok, probably just helped out with the leftovers).
This beer appears a hazy, medium apricot yellow colour, with one skinny finger of wispy and bubbly off-white head, which leaves some defrosting windshield lace around the glass as things quickly blow off.
It smells of gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser edgy wheatiness, a touch of generic citrus rind, black pepper, earthy yeast, and some tame leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is semi-sweet, grainy and bready pale malt, cream of wheat, some apple and orange fruitiness, mixed peppercorns, subtle old-school yeast, and more understated leafy, grassy, and gently perfumed floral hoppiness.
The carbonation is fairly low-key in its barely there frothiness, the body a solid middleweight, and generally smooth, with a wee airy creaminess arising as things warm up a tad. It finishes on the sweet side, from lingering malt and fruity notes alike.
Overall, this is like a Saison on steroids, and not just from the elevated booze quotient - there's simply a stoic heaviness prevailing here. Good stuff, and something that works well enough for this increasingly wintry time of year.
